With ISF’s belief that education is the key to holistic development and empowerment and that an educated girl is the foundation of a healthy and progressive nation, the first phase of the initiative focuses on this critical ingredient. In the year 2006, ISF embarked on the “Girls Going to School”(GGS) initiative, a unique programme being done in partnership with like minded grassroots NGOs across Delhi.  Collectively this partnership will have a much greater impact than the actions by any one organization. 
The initiative seeks to create a sustainable model which will ensure the successful completion of primary education of girls through relevant and quality education in a span of five years.  It focuses on addressing discrimination issues that lead to gender disparity in education amongst the underprivileged sections of society in urban settings.
